Looks like things could take a turn in this series! Coach Doc Rivers just gave us some exciting news: Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard might be making a comeback real soon. He says they're "very, very, very close" to hitting the court again after their injuries.

Despite missing key players, the Milwaukee Bucks managed to pull off a win against the Indiana Pacers last Tuesday. Lillard has been sidelined for a couple of games now with an Achilles injury he picked up during Game 3. And Giannis? Well, he's been dealing with a strained calf that's kept him out for the entire series.

But hey, the Bucks aren't giving up just yet! Even without their stars, they clinched a crucial win. Although they're trailing in the series, Game 6 in Indianapolis on Thursday could be their chance to turn things around.

All eyes are on Giannis and Dame now. They're hitting the court for a workout on Wednesday, and fans are hopeful they'll be back in action come Thursday!
